IBM Watson, through the use of cognitive technology, has the ability to think and learn coupled with the capacity to analyze immense  volumes of data.  Continuously learning as it processes text, images, audio and video, IBM Watson provides researchers the ability to expand their subject matter expertise and have it reflected in their apps and systems.
Jim Stritzinger, Entrepreneur in Residence within the TecHealth Center at the Arnold School of Public Health, will introduce faculty  and students to the cognitive world of IBM Watson.  Meet some of the leaders of IBM’s new Center for Applied Innovation and Advanced Analytics, located at USC’s Columbia campus, along with College of Engineering and Computing faculty currently working on extraordinary  projects with Watson. Join us and learn how to enhance your research through a partnership with IBM Watson.
